Traditionally the focus of triathlon is on volume, intensity,
and training periodization--doing particular workouts during the
months, weeks, and days leading up to a race. But what if you could
improve performance without logging extra distance on the road or
in the water? That is the promise of "Triathletes in Motion:
Assessing Movement for World-Class Technique and Performance." In
this book, Marc Evans introduces the Evans Assessment principle and
makes the case that every triathlon training regimen should start
with the physical assessments of movement. By looking carefully at
movements during these assessments, you can detect limitations to
mobility, flexibility, strength, and stability. These limiters
cannot be corrected by traditional technique instruction alone, so
Evans presents specific exercises and tests that address each one.
The results are greater efficiency, fewer injuries, and faster
performances.
Whether you are a veteran triathlete seeking a performance
breakthrough, a newer triathlete starting the training season, or a
coach or member of a triathlon federation searching for that edge,
training should start with "Triathletes in Motion." This resource
includes hundreds of tests and exercises to help triathletes swim,
cycle, and run faster and more economically. Marc Evans was
triathlon's first professional coach and has consulted, coached,
collaborated with, and mentored some of the biggest names in the
sport, including Dave Scott and Scott Tinley. His coauthor, Jane
Cappaert, is a leading expert in sport biomechanics. Now they make
their unique expertise available to everyone in "Triathletes in
Motion."
